Habitat Steward Program
---------------------------------------------
What is a Habitat Steward?
Habitat Stewards are dedicated volunteers who are highly involved in planning and coordinating restoration in their local open spaces. They receive special training and resources, which means no prior experience necessary, only a desire to help restore our natural areas! Program staff work with each Steward to create their restoration plan for their site of choice and are provided with the resources in which to organize volunteer events and carry out their restoration goals.
We also provide continued education trainings on a regular basis on subjects such as plant identification, site management plan creation, and running large restoration events. (See Upcoming Trainings below)
